And I know she loves me, she loves everybody.

Jacket (Forever 21), Crop top (Ebay), Pants (Jacob), Bag (American Apparel, Boots (Urban Outfitters)


What I wore a few days ago. The weather is looking up and I`m so excited to whip out all my inappropriate crop tops (haha yeah I have an unhealthy love for everything cropped). I wore these pants because the material is light and ideal for warmer weather, and the pockets drive me crazy (in a good way) As much as I love layering I can`t wait to not have to wear huge cardigans and a bunch of layers under my jackets constantly.

Ebay Finds #2


My finds on Ebay this week. I actually wear glasses at all times because I have such terrible vision and I really do prefer wearing glasses. Glasses do add a certain something to my style that I really appreciate, the only downside is not being able to buy all the cute (cheap) sunglasses I want because I can't put prescriptions in them (and even when I can, it's still pretty pricey) I am investing in putting prescriptions in a few old frames that were gifted to me, so I'll blog about that when I get them done.
In the meantime I'll just squint a bit more in the sunlight and avert my eyes!

Coup de coeur, everyone's doing it.



 












































I remember seeing this trend emerge and thinking, what is going on here? this going to fade faster than kanye's black man mullet. 
Honestly, I think trends affect me a lot, as much as I want to act as if I'm my own product 
and I am influenced by nothing. Seeing something a lot can make me either hate it or just mellow out: see  Litas, I still don't understand. Letterman Jackets, I am actually starting to get. Notice Rihanna is featured many times, she has been rocking them a lot, and dare I say I feel like she definitely had a part in making me "mellow". 

Do you guys have a trend you originally side eyed and now might actually consider.....?

She's got house plants to keep her company.








Jacket: H&M, Top: Mom's old clothes, Jeans: Urban  Behaviour, Necklace; Ebay, Bag: American Apparel Warehouse Sale, Shoes: Trivium.

These shoes are one of favourite pair, they were such a find. My belief is that it doesn't matter which store it is, you can usually find at least one thing you'll like or that you can customize or whatever. I found these at the goth shop at the mall, and they usually never have my size but they fit for once and they were really comfortable. I've worn them so many times since last summer the soles are worn out and I really want to see if I can fix them! I love that they can change a drab outfit, and I can wear them anywhere.

We all have a pair of shoes we cannot let go of, what are yours? and what kind of condition are they in (holes, soles broken down, hanging on by a thread etc, tell me so I don't feel so bad for keeping mine!)

Rough Winds







Coat (Urban Outfitters) Cardigan (SheInside)  Riding Pants (American Apparel) Boots (Call It Spring) Bag (Ebay) Scarf (Ebay)
Really simple outfit post from Friday for my last exam. I wore these riding pants, because to me they feel like leggings but they're called pants and I get away with that when I wear a cardigan. 
It was actually hailing, the weather in Canada is great because when people say Spring is here, all you do is laugh, that doesn't actually mean anything here. I've been pretty boring lately, and I miss being able to actually take time to pick out clothes because i'm not super late for class or on my way to an exam! So happy it's over. This means less work, more trips to Montreal, looking for a store I want to apply in and more time to shop for cheap deals. I bet that sounds like the least exciting thing ever but I'm elated. I've had a pretty tough year and I feel like I can finally take a little breather.

I'm going to ask one of these cheesy open ended questions no one feels compelled to answer because they feel the person who asked does't actually care about the answer (but I do!) 
What are your goals/plans for the summer? I feel like i'm too old to make a list and stick to it, but that honestly helps me cope with so many things in life.

No games, just a slave to you totally.









Jeux D'enfants (Love me if You Dare), Moonrise Kingdom, Letters from Juliette Drouin to Victor Hugo, Laurence Anyways. 

Just some movies I was thinking about, I'm in a mood! Laurence Anyways is one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've seen in a while. Moonrise Kingdom was also pretty enjoyable, it was light and actually relatively easy to sit through. 
I briefly studied Victor Hugo and his correspondence with Juliette in high school, they were my favourites so I couldn't help including them.
